The Open Storefront Project is an initiative of On The
Boards Staging Company. The goal of the project is to provide artists with a
temporary space in which to create, as well as to bring life to unleased
storefront spaces. We partner with retail businesses and building owners to
provide the space free-of-charge to artists. We hope that our animation of the
different spaces allows the public to see into the process of the arts and to
promote the leasable space to potential buyers or renters. With every leasing
of the spaces we animate, we feel a lot of pride and are excited to see where
we go next.

On Sunday, January 29th, a group
of Canadian newcomers were invited to attend a performance of "Displaced", a show
that sold out its entire run. One of the attendees offered this
feedback, published here with permission.

On this blog we like to feature independent performance happening around Saskatoon. This week I'm excited to tell you about a show that was part of the Short Cut Festival 2016 on it's journey to this full length production. Alex Hartshorn and Christina Persson interview each other about working on this theatre/dance/music piece. They call it a "live art installation".

Thanks
to a new partnership with Brainsport, ON THE BOARDS is celebrating the
inaugural location – 704 Broadway – of The Open
Storefront Project: an empty
storefront handed over to performing artists for the creation of theatre – and for the first time, the public can
watch it happening!
